Ska bands at the Vans Waped Tour 2011

Instead of a band of the day today, here is a list of all the ska band (admittedly few) on the Vans Warped Tour this year:

Less Than Jake
Big D And The Kids Table
The Exposed
Black Square (Joins the tour on July 29th, playing Southeast, South West, and west coast)
The Planet Smashers (Only playing one show though in Montreal you lucky Canadians)
The Sheds (Playing the West coast and the South West only)

Kind of a disappointing line up this year, but I'm looking forward to seeing LTJ and Big D and there's a few good punk and Reggae bands playing as well

Find out when the warped tour comes to a town near you (Sorry international buddies, but they only tour the US and Canada)http://vanswarpedtour.com

I honestly don't care for warped tour anymore. They used to play good music, but now about 80% of it is scene crap. I don't really mind scene music, but it always seems to attract the scene kids. Nevertheless, LTJ was performing at the first Warped Tour I went to. They were amazing :)

About Me

Hey people who aren't actually reading this! I guess I should talk about my self here, so here's what I'm going to tell you. I'm a college student born, raised, and living on Long Island. I actually play guitar and bass myself. I try and support my local ska scene and I suggest every other ska fan do the same! I first started listening to ska when I was a sophomore in high school and listened to Reel Big Fish for the first time. Since then it has become my favorite type of music and a big part of my life.
